Celtic star Jota was targeted with missiles by Rangers fans in the crunch clash at Ibrox on Saturday - waving concerns to officials in the process.
With Rangers already coasting at 2-0 up, Jota went over to take a corner by the home fans in the Broomloan End of the ground. However, in the process, he was targeted by missiles from those watching - before airing his concerns to the match officials.
From here, the supporters didn't stop; Matt O'Riley went to take the set-piece, and he too was targeted by the home support. With Jota handing the object to referee Steven McLean, lighters appeared to be thrown at the Englishman as he prepared to swing the ball in.

Pundit Andy Walker was seething with the incident, citing to Sky Sports: “It’s absolutely ridiculous. Players have got to feel safe out there.”
The Light Blues went on to claim the derby day bragging rights with a comfortable 3-0 win over Ange Postecoglou's champions. Todd Cantwell, John Souttar and Fashion Sakala were all on target for the hosts.
The result will come as a major boost to Michael Beale as he picks up his first Old Firm triumph at the fifth attempt.
